JDMSTA,
I have a question for you, the only way to remove the headlights is to remove the bumper cover?

You'll have to remove the whole front bumper off.

did you retrofit yours too? Any pictures of the finish fogs? You see the leveling screws, I do not want to loose those, that would be the only way to adjust the fog lights, and the mounting points/brackets need to be retained as well. Last edited by ZURCALED12; 12-17-2012 at 07:38 PM. |

How many hours? Or how many bolts? Any pointers? Suggestions? That is why I wanted to buy another set of lights before, I do the retrofit. I just want to take off the old ones and carefully install the retrofited lights.

Consider that it was my very 1st time ever retrofitting so it did took me all day to do it because I was taking my time making sure I don't mess anything up. If I was to do it again, it'll probably take me half the time. Taking the bumper off is really easy. its mostly clips and a few bolts if I can remember correctly. For the headlights. There's about 5 screw bolts and 1 clip per side. Hope that helps.

Very similar to IS300's yellow foglights.
Here's a series of pictures from one of the retrofitters: http://hidillusionz.blogspot.com/201...-retrofit.html These images are from that URL: |

For that particular retrofit, they made a custom housing, with the outer lens vacuum formed from flat clear plastic, afaik. If you chose a sealed foglight to begin with, then the most you need to do is to put in a filler if there's a gap left by the smaller foglight (e.g. Hella Micro DE). |

I seen a you tube video where the guy used a roto-zip tool to seperate the lens from the body of the fog light, and then he used butyl rubber as a sealant when he put everything back together.

Anyone here from Canada? I would like to see what the back of your HID headlights look like? How is the low beam capsule (bulb) covered? Where is the auto-leveling motor mounted? |

Just finished up taking pictures and will do the write-up tomorrow. I am going to post the actual thread regarding it under the Impreza forum/ a 12+ thread but will post a link in here as well.

I ordered the angel eyes from The Retrofit Source. Both the angel eyes and the corner leds are white in color but my phone camera somehow produce a blue tint to it.

In order for mines to fit behind the shroud, I ordered the 100mm ones.
